… does not pass go, does not collect $200.

And, apparently, doesn’t spend even a single day in jail.

Enron Corp. founder Ken Lay, convicted this spring of scheming to fraudulently elevate the company’s share price in one of the nation’s most notorious corporate crime cases, died today in Colorado of what associates said was a massive coronary. He was 64.

Lay and his wife, Linda, were in Aspen, Colo., for the week “and his death was totally unexpected. Apparently, his heart simply gave out.”

The Lays owned property in Colorado, the only state outside the Southern District of Texas, which includes Houston, where he was allowed to go before that sentencing. …

According to a statement from the Pitkin County Sheriff’s Office, deputies and an ambulance had been sent to Lay’s Old Snowmass home at 1:41 a.m. for a medical emergency. Lay was then transported to Aspen Valley Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 3:11 a.m. A coroner’s autopsy is pending.

Sources report that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has already requested not to room with Mr. Lay for all eternity.
